Love Is Like A Star, Showing Me the Way ForwardChapter 1
On the day Eli Burton won the Movie King, he did not keep his promise to acknowledge me publicly.
On the same day, the novel I wrote based on us was exposed.
He stood on the high podium, while his fervent fans cornered me and ruined my hand.
After that, I could no longer pick up a pen, and I gave up on continuing our story.
In response to his pleas, I simply closed my eyes and pulled off the hearing aid.
'Oh, the big star, you no longer belong to me.'
——
The day Eli won the Movie King, I accompanied him to the venue.
"The main reason I won the Movie King is thanks to..."
I sat in the audience, silently praying that Eli would keep his promise.
I didn't know why I had this bad premonition, after all, we had agreed on this when we first got together.
My palms were sweating due to nervousness, and I anxiously watched Eli on stage giving his acceptance speech.
"My leading lady, who is also my girlfriend, Mya Gordon."
The moment his words fell, the camera focused on Mya's face, just a few meters away from me, and the venue erupted in applause.
The cheers almost drowned out the out-of-place me.
Mya shyly waved her hand, their interaction was very intimate.
It seemed they were aiming for the hot search tonight.
My heart tightened in an instant, I looked up incredulously, and before I could react, hot tears slid down my face.
The thing I feared most had happened, catching me off guard.
I quickly turned my head, released my clenched hand from my dress, wiped away the tears on my face, and swallowed the sour taste in my throat.
But how could I swallow this?
I just stared blankly at him on stage.
My hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, the knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
But I didn't feel any pain.
Because I was still completely immersed in the shock I had just received, and couldn't recover for a long time.
'Oh, big star, you really shine bright.'
After eight years, Eli finally became what he wanted to be on this day.
I thought we would both be happy on this day.
My nose was sour, and my chest was swollen. For a moment, I forgot whether I should be excited or sad.
"Little girl, why are you crying? Are you his fan?"
A senior actor next to me handed me a tissue.
I trembled as I took it, thanking him softly.
